The human cost of being green
I think plastic bags are too maligned, if you reuse them a couple of times for groceries and one final time for your garbage, then they're no ecological downside. They can also be used for diapers or dog poop.
If you banned plastic bags, Consumers would end up buying plastic garbage bags, which are thicker, or they'd buy more reusable thick bags than they actually need if in a situation where they needed to get groceries with their other bags not at hand.
Slap a small fee on plastic bags (of the order of $0.25) and most consumer would alter their behavior and minimize their thin plastic bag usage. -
